If you have ever enjoyed life in an atmospheric Boutique Hotel and wondered why the rest of your life didn’t match up to those standards then Mill Village could be the ideal solution.

For generations the high chimney of the old Linen Mill has stood sentry over the town of Comber. Once widely recognised as an important centre for the linen industry, the Mill with its striking Victorian Mill buildings gave the town much of its character, and was a catalyst for its growth and development.

Although the buildings were officially ‘listed’ and their architectural importance recognised, when the Mill finally fell silent in 1997, there was a fear that, without a new 21st century champion, the Mill would fall into disrepair and neglect.

Today however the Mill is once again a thriving focus for the town, a focus for regeneration and an asset for the future.

Very few developers are willing to invest the finances necessary to protect old buildings and give them a new lease of life. Generally speaking they would prefer to have a blank canvas to work on. Mill Village shows what can be achieved when architectural heritage is recognised as an asset rather than a hassle.

Mill Village has created a stunning variety of new luxury homes on the ten acre town centre site, uniting the glories of the original Mill Buildings with edgy contemporary design. The result has been an award-winning portfolio of stunning original homes.

The balance between past and present is carefully preserved – but the feel of Mill Village is that this is very much the lifestyle choice for the future. If you have ever enjoyed life in an atmospheric Boutique Hotel and wondered why the rest of your life didn’t match up to those standards then Mill Village could be the ideal solution.

Dunlop Homes Ltd. deliberately set about creating something different and unique at Mill Village.
The inspiration for the development was drawn from the original Victorian Linen Mill buildings which have been painstakingly preserved in this ambitious refurbishment and development scheme. Victorian predecessors had built to the highest of standards and employed only highly skilled craftsmen using the best of materials. Dunlop Homes Ltd. honoured that legacy but took the challenging route of introducing contemporary design rather than building new homes that simply echo the past.

That original vision was for a development which would, from the outset, look and feel ‘established’. The layout echoed Comber town centre, with common courtyard spaces, creating a warm feeling of community, while roads and generous car parking provision have been carefully managed to maintain the ‘Village’ atmosphere.

The idea of a turnkey development is not a new one, but in Northern Ireland it has most often been associated with first time buyers. The Mill Village turned that idea on its head by introducing the turnkey concept at luxury level.

An infinity pool set under the original brick vaulted ceilings with views onto landscaped paved courtyards through imposing arched windows... quiet spaces... a fully equipped gym... no queues. It sounds almost too good to be true but it's a facility that is already available to all Mill Villagers!

A place to meet and relax, it allows friendships to be built and extends the ‘public space’ of the complex to an indoor location. It has been an important tool in helping to realise the vision of creating not just a development of attractive houses, but a genuine, vibrant community.

Independent Property Estates are delighted to receive instructions to introduce to the Sales Market the new phase at the award winning Mill Village Development in Comber on behalf of Dunlop Homes Ltd.
